    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    I miss the chatroom as much as anybody...rarf!!!
    but there were times when people ...again, I won't point fingers...would be there just to complain about NOT getting on stage, or bragging in a sideways sort of manner about how many shows they had seen this year, or "so and so is out to get me", or "I spent X amount of dollars on tickets this year". That kinda stuff chased alotta people outa the chatroom. so, I'm hoping that when and if we get the chat back that crap will stay HOME or SOMEwhere else at least. wagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwag....(waving paw) Time to look for a cooookie.....

    for DSG
    Hey DSG if you wan't to talk about the music, talk about the music. You want to post reviews and setliests I would love to see them on the Furthur forum. If you want a new forum to post them ask Marye. Nobody should put you down for your passion and your head full of dead, but lots of us dont have the chance to see so many shows as you and, well you know, if we weren't there its a little hard for us to have a conversation about it. So we talk about other stuff too..and come on DSG...don't pretend you dont talk about other stuff in the Chatroom too :-) Its a drag when people get nasty and personal in the chatroom for sure and it gets me down too. But most folks are kind and if they step over the line are quick to apologise. I for one will be glad to meet up with you there when it is back on line and don't forget Donna Jean too!

    the point is
    that the chatroom has always been a non-topic restricted conversational flow (relationship building just like ripple said) since day one. And it will always be like that. Music AND whatever comes to mind. Think of it like a conversational jam! Conversations flows and twists JUST like the music does. If our "approved topics" lists are restricted, it will stifle the room. ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

    hearing what you say dancingsinginggirl
    A large part of this grateful dead thing is family of course the main thing is music but family talk about other things,their lifes,the weather,their children,its all a part of relationship building.Im pretty sure theres threads in here about further and the rythm devils if not you start them sister i will be more than happy too get involved in anything dead related.

    the point is talkin bout- MUSIC baby
    I guess the point was, misunderstood? or taken out of context. ? Not about whether or not you experienced the Grateful Dead OR HOW MANY SHOWS YOU WENT TO, but is about the folks that came into the Chatroom ( this IS The Grateful Dead Website) just to play ' chat games', and mess with people, and hack - day after day and they never would talk about the music. ! .thats all. c'mon... I think you know what I meant... either way, there's 4 original Grateful Dead members out there touring- right now, making some historic music, sure would love to be able to chat about that ! but -we are getting by -with texts and the forums and FB pages :)) we need a place here to post the current show reviews and current set lists. OO play on- KEEP LISTENING

    doesn't mean that we aren't heads if we don't discuss them 24/7 in the chatroom either. Everybody's got their own story to tell. The music is the common thread, but we are all unique-Thank Goodness!!! Methinks that folks with no life of their own are more inclined to resort to Deadhead snobbery.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

was the creation of a Grateful Dead ARchive based on all the stuff Eileen Law saved over the years, at UC Santa Cruz. With regard to the chat room on the test site, I can't even get into the test site at the moment, so I suspect people are working on stuff behind the scenes, but I've emailed Jonathan to see what's up. I am hoping we'll have it up and running (properly!) over here real soon now.

One of the things I was testing by being perpetually logged in, even though I was often away, was to insure that I was advised if the boot monster came swarming out of the jungle. Booting always affected all users, so if it happened, it would happen to me too. The good news, of course, is that it didn't happen the entire time the site was up. Obviously there were some changes applied to that environment recently that have caused some other issues, but those issues appear to be affecting that entire site, not just the chat implementation. By and large, I think that most of the chat issues have been remedied, and I'm looking forward to seeing it redeployed here. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

It appears we have a ghost (ghosts) back in the "ex"perimental prototype new, improved chat room. Folks who are in the chat room see their names appearing more than once. It's no big deal to me...in real life I find I'm beside myself often too. Just thought I'd bring it to the attention of whomever this may concern (or not concern, as the case may be).
